Everyone loves Hellys. The music, the atmosphere, the sheer adrenaline. We are all about exciting concerts, encouraging kids, giveaways such as free lessons, sheet music and strings... and... community.

Everything we do costs money. Each free ticket we give away to an accompanied child is £12.50's worth of seat we cannot sell. Each free guitar lesson with an international performer that we give away costs (on average) £50.

We will be able to cover the cost of performance fees - BUT the extras, the education and the encouragement of young people... for these we need your help.

We expect to give away around 100 free tickets to under 18s, plus 35 free lessons. The total cost of that would be £3000. Please raise us half of that, and we will be able to secure the other half through like-for-like funding - or by making our Musical Director live on lentils!
